The UN Development Programme (UNDP) has announced that it will select young people to join a three-day training course on creative solutions toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with benefits for trainees including grants of $1,500 to $3,500 to continue their projects.
According to the December 7 press release, teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 30 may submit application forms to join the training programme. Participants will form teams of three to address a list of 18 topics related to sustainable development amid environmental challenges in Cambodia.
The UNDP said the training courses might be hosted online, depending on guidance from the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation. The objective of the course is to enable today’s youth to create a sustainable future for everybody and was initiated by the UNDP and the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).
UNDP resident representative Nick Beresford told The Post on December 9 that the training course will encourage and support Cambodia’s youth to take action for innovative and sustainable development.
